مُؤْتَةُ بالضم والهمز، وجوزع أهل الغريب بغير الهمز نقله شيخنا، وذكرها ابن منظور في آخر ترجمة مات، وقيدها بالهمز، وهو قول الفراء وثعلب، اسم أرض بالشام، حيث التقعت جيوش المسلمين وهرقل
Mu'tah, with dammah and hamzah, and the people of al-Ghareeb pronounced it without hamzah, as narrated by my sheikh.

It is the name of a land in Syria, where the armies of the Muslims and Heraclius clashed.
